    The game is amazing: This is the real simulator players want for years. The sense at the wheel in your hands driving with a lot of very different cars. The tracks are realistics. The graphics are really beautiful. But over all, the game is really funny. Don't waste time reading this review and play.

    This sim has some bugs but its really good.

    Seems default settings has ffb strength miles to high which drowns out everything is into a flat line.

    FFB is great once you spend the time to set it up right.

All other racing sims before this were merely tech demos. Project CARS was built from the ground up to help all steering wheel owners ascend into something greater than mere mortality of the human flesh. Upon thrusting the throttle you will soon realize that you are now under a mental state known as robust intelleterpreted confusion. This confusion is caused by a skepticism of reality vs. the virtual. Some call this phenomena “virtual reality,” but don’t be fooled; this IS a video game, but a video game has never been something like THIS before. Before clicking on the .exe of this game, I would recommend taking out your diary, and getting a good look at your surroundings, because your life will never be the same. If you commute to work every day by car, be prepared to be underwhelmed by the lack of simulated immersion that your car has always given you (I swear my Nissan just doesn’t corner the way it should). Have your tissues ready at hand; because you will be going through every emotion that your heart can handle, from belligerent joy, to incessant sadness, to rock hard frustration, and even drunken horniness (don’t forget about those tissues). If you haven’t already bought this game, I demand you punish yourself by buying this game twice, and giving the second copy to a loved one. If you HAVE bought this game, then let god have mercy on your soul, for you are no longer a mortal man. See you on the racetrack, you god among men. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)… Expand

    What you really expect from a Sim Race title is to be easy to drive at slow speed, but hard to master. Driving over the limit will penalize you. Incredible fun, awesome graphics, best FFB feeling I've ever had. Oculus VR is supported although not fully integrated yet (but OVR isn't a consumer product yet...).

    First of, I can only shake my head about people giving pCARS a bad score because it isn't what they expected it to be. It was never advertised as a car collecting game. It's a race driving simulator. You guys inform yourself before you buy something, now don't you? Or do you really buy a sports car and expect it to be a camping van? Please, grow some brain.

    But now on to my review.    First of, I can only shake my head about people giving pCARS a bad score because it isn't what they expected it to be. It was never advertised as a car collecting game. It's a race driving simulator. You guys inform yourself before you buy something, now don't you? Or do you really buy a sports car and expect it to be a camping van? Please, grow some brain.

    But now on to my review. Project Cars is a great achievement. I come from several years of iRacing experience and while pCARS isn't quite there yet when everything is set up correctly it gives me the closest feel to what I am used to from iRacing...much better than Assetto Corsa can do but that's just personal preference.

    But it is the whole package that makes this game such a great buy. It gives you the possibility to jump into race cars you won't ever be able to drive in real on race tracks you won't ever be able to drive on. Then there's the visuals. They are the best in the market with day/night cycles and dynamic weather changes. The immersive sound does its part to suck you in and there's even 24 hour racing if you have the stamina/endurance to do so.

    People not interested in multi player races have the opportunity to play their own single player racing career and guess what...the career mode is about driving a race car and working your way from racing series to racing series like a real race driver would. No tedious grind for cars to find out that the newly unlocked car drives exactly the same like the one you had before.

    There are things that are not implemented yet like animated pit crews or safety cars and it needs some polishing in other areas but SMS is going to deliver additional content and fixes with DLCs. Project Cars will be supported for at least two years.
    This is not your standard Activision, EA, Ubisoft game where they don't fix anything and just keep selling you a copy of more or less the same game a year later with the fixes for bugs you wished haven't been there in the first place.

    Regarding performance this game is demanding. Don't even think about playing in 4K with Ultra-settings, full starting grid of cars and dynamic weather when you don't have a high end system (fastest CPU, multi-GPU setup). It could be considered as Crysis of the racing sim genre and will probably keep even next gen hardware busy.    … Expand

    Такой прорыв можно сравнить разве что с Richard Burns Rally и с первым The Need For Speed.
    Физическая модель не уступает RTR, iRacing, RRE,Assetto Corsa.
    То что "графон завезли" не заметит только слепой и обиженый консольщик.
    Набор ГОНОЧНЫХ трасс укладывает на лопатки конкурентов.
    АИ противников (100%) на уровне сложности АС не позволит вам победить в гонке если вы не попали в настройки для конкретной трассы и плохо квалифицировались.
    Симуляция резины на сверхдостойном уровне, а звуки резины например на Жинетте GT5 категории позволяет естественно отлавливать машину на глубоких торможениях или в начале сноса .
    С выходом в розницу Окулус Рифт вау эффект подскочит в разы, я попробовал (сырую и кривую) FaceTrackNoIR 1.7 которая подменяет лицензированный TrackIR https://youtu.be/4hUSxqZnZYE и не смотря на кривизну утилиты не могу не признать вау-эффект от таких фич.
    С учётом вышеперечисленного а также пополнения в игре машин и трасс, с ценой в 25 у.е. SMS/Bandai явно продешевили.
    Можно сетовать на упрощённую визуальную крэш модель, но после столкновения в этом симе вы всё равно далеко не уедете.

    Dear so called Metacritic,

    There where times when personal computer users where discriminated by not having any proper sim type racing game (i don't count rFactor or Live for speed etc, because of abysmal graphics and lack of official content), i was looking with jealousy at youtube videos of Forza, Gran Turismo, which seem to me a bit too arcade-ish though... But not anymore!!! At    Dear so called Metacritic,

    But not anymore!!! At last we PC users have proper racing sim/game with proper physics, graphics, sounds, online system, lots of tracks, damage system, wheather system, cars, (what else you can ask for???) and it is called Project Cars. My G27 wheel now can be used to its full potential (after some tweaking ofc), my blood pressure is being raised a lot these days because of intense online racing, well it is basically most what i care about in racing game is - RACING! This is where pCARS shine, so many variety of different vehicles you can actually race with online, not like Assetto Corsa where you can race only GT3 mostly, have some boring so called track days where people just randomly cruise around...

    Mods...pCars don't have them and what a blessing it is, usually 99% of mods a pure ****, i admit there are some good ones, but the problems arise with different versions, updates, rarely you could race them online, divides online community into many different almost empty servers, so no sir! Let the AC have the mods but pCARS will offer official as much as possible perfected content which i prefer!

    Bugs...yes there are some, but they are there not because of bad/lazy attitude of devs, i mostly blame the sheer complexity and the scope of the game itself, there are so many detail and complexity under the hood that it is insanely difficult to make it work perfectly. You can set whatever the weather, whatever the time in whatever the track (there are A LOT of them), add into equation absurdly deep physics system (just check how complex tire model alone is http://www.virtualr.net/inside-project-cars-seta-tire-model ) and a decent amount of uniquely fine tuned cars, rather small dev team and you have a perfect environment for bugs!
    Give them time to fix that, they are working on that, but you can't concentrate only on bugs when evaluating game according to bugs which will be fixed! If you get sick, do you consider yourself as "bad and useless" or you just cure yourself and become "good" again? :)

    Controllers...well i play with a G27 wheel, but i tried it with keyboard and it is perfectly fine even with all assists off, with them activated it is absolutely enjoyable.

    Conclusion...this is the best thing since bread in racing simulation if you want real racing experience, not cruising (you can do it as well though), bodywork/engine upgrading, career unlocking experience. This game introduced some new features in the genre (like weather system) which will be followed by competitors in years to come.    … Expand

    Fantastic game, little tricky to get set up how you like it but once you do it the best racing game out there.
    I think this game has raised the bar as to how a racing game should be, if your a novice you can play it with whatever assists you need and if you are a pro when all assists are off its a real challenge with some of the cars.

    Project Cars is the first true next gen simulative racing game and a groundbraking one at that.

It's the first racing game to present fully dynamic day/night cycle, weather, and track (grip changes based on traffic, weather), combined with advanced tire and car physics that not only rival but actually exceet of kinds like Assetto Corsa or even Iracing. Starting from tires that react not only to track temperatures and cool/heat up based on the track temperatures but also by the temperatures of the brakes (that properly simulated by heat and wear) and rims that function as a heatsink, tires age and blister physically if abused, flatspots can lead to punctures and hitting walls or other cars hard causes the tires/suspensition to misalign. Volumetric throttle that is affected by weather/humidity and altitude is just one component of so many that are so highly detailed and simulated that once you grasps and feel the difference it makes when you drive with cars in this simulation at the limit, that it starts to immerse you to a whole nother level.

    The amazing graphics and sound vastly help bringing and aiding the immersion and the sense of speed is incredible. Project Cars is very well optimized and runs exceptionally well even on older Nvidia GPU's however AMD GPU drivers still need a lot of work but that is a common problem.

    Another highlight of Project Cars are the incredible cars. They are the most detailed and best build cars in any racing game to date. The game is worth a purchase just for the cars and their amazing sounds alone and with the combination of the previously mentioned top-class physics.

    The racing tracks, which most are laser scanned, are build with huge attention to detail and passion and easily compete with reference racing tracks from likes of Iracing. Even the ones that are not laser scanned have realistically placed bumps which bring your Forcefeedback to life.

    Forcefeedback is another area where Project Car shines and leaves it's compeditors in its digital dust. It's highly adjustable/configureable to tailor anyones preferences and no sign of canned/faked effects but instead full of details that immerses you further to another level. The FFB is class leading beating already great Iracing FFB.

    The racing AI is excellent, aggressive but respectful of your car if you respect theirs. Give them room just like in real life, they will give you room as well. Side by side racing is not only very possible with that approach but happens all the time.

    The sheer amount of content you get in form of cars and tracks make this a great buy and highly recommendation for any racing/driving game fan! The level of immersion by graphics, sound, physics is something that can't be described by words but HAS to be experienced on your own.

    A mild warning, once you go to Project Cars and get fully immersed, you can't really go back to other simulators, it's that GOOD!

    Enjoy racing everyone!    … Expand

    Project cars is very well pollished. The graphics are simply amazing. Maybe the best looking game I've ever played. But it's not only beauty on the outside, there is also beauty on the inside! The handling of the cars is just as good as the graphics are.

    Probably the greatest racing game ever made. The full experience of practice, qualifying, then race day with changeable weather that sometimes catches you out in qualifying. The balance between fun and realism is spot on. Playing this with a cockpit and a 970 GTX and I am in racing Nirvana. Sorry - but this game has spoiled me for all other racing games.

Playing this with a cockpit and a 970 GTX and I am in racing Nirvana. Sorry - but this game has spoiled me for all other racing games. I have never seen any game, racing or not, that has such realistic lighting and weather - it puts you there.

    Some things to fix: collision detection. Online cheats. Lap time table hacking. You know, all the usual stuff.

    SMS set out to create the greatest race game ever made and included the community and real racers every step of the way in development and I call this an outstanding success.    … Expand

    The simulator aspects are co-opted and somewhat compromised by a desire to simultaneously appeal to the arcade racer crowd—without actually being an arcade racer.

    Fantastically versatile Project CARS entertains both champions and festive drivers. It excites them with helpfulness, technology and dynamism, so only details could be reproached. [Issue#253]

    When it comes to the actual racing, the game gets top marks primarily because of how deep the handling model feels. It also does a fantastic job of giving the player every possible option to tailor his or her experience to their liking. However, everything outside of the racing, such as the career mode, is mere window dressing.
